This is so beautifully written, Diane. I'm saddened that you had such a terrible experience, but deeply impressed that you are such a survivor, like the female warrior in the image. Survival is even more precious when it's hard won. It can be hard to say no to events and people that do not serve us. But vitally important! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Diane, raised in a household with unmitigated abuse and squalor, witness to violence, sexual torture, suicides, psychological disturbance, substance abuse. So far survived it all.
